It is a really moving melody that brings the best elements of pop, dance and Latin together. The deep beats keep you moving forward into the heat of the guitars and offer the dancing vibes.

While the melody packs the heat of the single into your veins, Valenti’s vocals bring the exploration of the nature of love. While the lyrics are in Italian, her expressive delivery helps you dive into what she is really saying. The verses have a more vulnerable feeling to them, like a tentative exploration of deeper emotions. This moves into a chorus that is quite addictive and sinks into your brain where it will replay throughout the day. As the single progresses, Valenti’s vocals really come into their own as they rise in power with the blossoming of love. Through her performance, you are inundated with the understanding that love is a vital part of life and we can’t really do without it.
